Nicky and Peter the hosts are amazing and every little detail has been thought of from the welcome pack, kitchen essentials and dog essentials if you are travelling with your four legged companion. And all in a beautiful location.
Delightfully decorated, clean and comfortable space to spend away from home. Everything we needed and more! Our hosts Peter and Nicky were attentive and friendly and we felt so welcomed. Our dog enjoyed the garden and she was safe and secure in the enclosed space. A place to return to and tell our friends about. Thank you both
The property was wonderful and so were the hosts, it was clean and our dog loved it with her own garden and the host had a dog bed and treats waiting on our arrival with home made cake biscuits jam and marmalade bread butter milk it was fantastic and we will be staying again
WOW, where to start.Peter & Nicky have thought of everything and some to make Keepers Lodge very much a home from home -it’s beautifully presented.Of all the places I’ve stayed with my faithful Furball this is top of the charts for his comfort and needs. From the dog bed, towels & treats, he was definitely spoilt. I always worry, especially in the wet months with muddy walks, meaning muddy footprints. But I was assured this wasn’t an issue. A secure garden for those late night and early morning wees was also a plus point. The welcome pack for me was very much appreciated. Oh and the shower is to die for, I could have stayed under it all night!! Well done Peter & Nicky, I shall be recommending Keepers Lodge.
